I won a yogurt maker about a year ago on a blog giveaway. It wasn’t until just the other day that I finally tried to use it. I had thrown away the directions (oops!) but found them online, thankfully. The directions were fairly straight forward, but I was annoyed to find out I had to purchase… Continue reading Make My Own Yogurt? Not So Much

Nick and I love the show Good Eats, featuring our favorite Food Network star Alton Brown. The reason we like it so much is because he doesn’t just cook, but he teaches us about food science.

I don’t buy the full fat yogurt (because full fat yogurt typically has… Continue reading Agave, HFCS, and Some Banana Chocolate Dreams Fro Yo

Happy Hump Day everyone (although it still feels like Tuesday to me!). I hope everyone is having a nice week so far. My week has been relaxing, yet nerve-racking at the same time. Relaxing because I don’t have many responsibilities, and nerve-racking because I will find out if I got my “DREAM JOB” this week! Thanks… Continue reading Dark Chocolate Sorbet on a Hot Spring Day

We did it! We signed the papers and made an offer…..but it was counter-offered by the owners last night  What are we doing? Making another counter-offer of course! We’ll hear back tonight. What an ordeal. Last night, after hearing that our offer was declined, Nick and I watched the movie 2012. Do you want to spend 2.5 hours… Continue reading Agave vs. Honey, Carob vs. Dark Chocolate
